All Known Subinterfaces:

ActivityRegistrationSearchSession

public interface ActivityRegistrationQuerySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among ActivityRegistration objects. The search query is constructed using the ActivityRegistrationQuery.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated course catalog view: searches include activity registrations in course catalogs of which this course catalog is an ancestor in the course catalog hierarchy
• isolated course catalog view: searches are restricted to activity registrations in this course catalog

Activity registrations may have a query record indicated by their respective recor types. The query record is accessed via the ActivityRegistrationQuery.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedCourseCatalogView

void useIsolatedCourseCatalogView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this course catalog only.

Compliance:

Returns:

the activity registration query

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getActivityRegistrationsByQuery
